Thugesh Exposes The "Harsh Truth": Why Indians Lack Civic Sense, From Delhi Metro To Dubai

In a video that’s equal parts hilarious and painfully true, YouTuber Thugesh (Mahesh Keshwala) has delivered a brutal, no-holds-barred roast of what he calls India’s missing “sixth sense”: civic sense. From public urination in the Delhi Metro to shoplifting abroad and fighting for food at a Global Investor Summit, Thugesh exposes the “harsh truth” about Indian public behavior that will make you laugh, cringe, and perhaps, feel a little ashamed.

“If Aryabhata discovered zero, he must have done it after seeing our civic sense,” Thugesh quips, setting the tone for his scathing critique. He argues that while humans have five senses, Indians collectively lack the fundamental understanding of public etiquette and hygiene.

The Delhi Metro Files: A Microcosm of Chaos

Thugesh doesn’t pull any punches, starting his exposé in the nation’s capital. The Delhi Metro etiquette is apparently non-existent, as he highlights:

• A father openly making his child urinate on the tracks. “It feels bad to see our future peeing on the future,” he laments.
• A man casually eating peanuts and throwing the shells on the metro floor. Thugesh jokes that throwing such a person out shouldn’t be a criminal offense.
• A couple kissing “as if they were the last couple on Earth,” causing “humiliation, irritation, and jealousy.”
• A grandpa peeing in the space between two coaches, humorously dubbed a “master at finding gaps.”

He contrasts this with the Mumbai Metro, where, he jokes, there’s simply “no space” for such antics.

Global Embarrassment: Indians Abroad

The Thugesh Indian civic sense roast takes a global turn, highlighting embarrassing incidents involving Indians on foreign soil:

• An Indian woman caught stealing candy and decorative lights on Halloween in America.
• An “aunty” stealing goods worth ₹80,000 to ₹1 lakh from a US store.
• Indians performing Garba inside the Burj Khalifa, but also spitting gutka, leading to massive fines.
• Passengers standing up on flights mid-air, treating airplanes like government buses.

“We need to go abroad and make our country feel proud, not loud,” Thugesh asserts, lamenting the damage to India’s global image.

A Buffet of Bad Behavior: From Summits to Swimming Pools

The video is a relentless barrage of examples:

• People throwing trash out of trains, humorously suggesting it’s for “sheep and goats.”
• Chaos at a Global Investor Summit, inaugurated by PM Modi, where attendees fought for food, turning it into a “War on Buffet.”
• A New Zealand man showering in a public kids’ pool, which Thugesh sarcastically defends by saying, “People always say Indians smell. Fine, now we’ll bathe in the kids’ pool.”
• The theft of yoga mats at an International Yoga Day event, with Thugesh joking that people burned more calories stealing mats than doing yoga.
• Damage to historical forts, with the British and Mughals causing less harm than modern Indians.

The Never-Ending Mess and a Call for Self-Reflection

Thugesh argues that the problem isn’t just about individuals; it’s systemic. He points out the lack of dustbins in public places and the irony that schools teach “Civics” but not “Civic Sense.” He concludes that the only thing that truly unites Indians is their collective lack of civic sense.

His message is a powerful call for self-reflection. He urges people to stop blaming the government and start with themselves, citing Indore as a positive example of cleanliness. He ends by asking viewers not to target specific states in the comments, emphasizing that the problem is widespread.

Thugesh’s video is a mirror held up to Indian society, forcing a humorous but uncomfortable look at its collective habits. It’s a brutal, yet necessary, Thugesh roast video that aims to spark a change in public behavior.
